Hi random post but as i sit here eating my breakfast I ask for help. My soft boiled eggs are either rock hard or totally uncooked. How do you cook the perfect dippy egg.

ps. Soilders must have marmite on! :wink2:
 
Sorry I can't help really as I go hell for leather and cook them til you could break a window with them lol, but this thread made me smile on a rubbish morning so thanks! :)
 
I think this is best way
Put eggs in cold water
Bring to boil
Simmer for three mins
Then there ready, I done this yesterday and perfect! (well almost)

Thank you for this post! I'm rubbish at boiling eggs! Lol
 
Why is boiling an egg so hard!
I can make a lovely lemon meringue but getting a perfect chicky egg is a tricky one!😳x

This is how I do it to and all my family say I make the best boiled eggs!

When the three minutes are up put them in a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking further, then take the top off one and check if they're done. If they're not cooked enough you can put the top back on and pop them back in the pan for 30 seconds or so xxx

Ahhh the cold water at the end will make all the difference :)
Thanks for that x

Haha me aswell!

to the OP- i love marmite! I've never heard of having it with eggs though, the next thing to try :) xxx
 
I have an app called my perfect egg timer... might be a bit sad but eggs are now perfect every time! You put in the size of egg, temperature (as in fridge or cupboard), altitude and how you like your eggs.

Absolute genius in my opinion lol

I use this little egg thing you put in with them and bit changes colour throughout so you know when it's perfect :) never failed me.... I fancy a egg now.... Lol x
 
I can't comment in how to make a good egg only how to make a bad one lol
